Answer:

The probability is 0.4909

Step-by-step explanation:

The following equation for nCk give as the number of ways in which we can select k elements from a group of n elements:

nCk=\frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}

Then, there are 220 ways in which we can select 3 candies from the 12 that are in the pack. It is calculated as:

12C3=\frac{12!}{3!(12-3)!}=220

On the other hand, there are 108 different ways to select the 3 candies in which they are all different flavors. It is calculated as:

4C3 * 3C1 * 3C1 * 3C1 = 108

Because, 4C3 give us the number of ways to select 3 flavors from the 4 flavors. From this 3 flavors selected, we are going to select one candie from each one, so we multiply 3 times by 3C1, one for each flavor.

Finally, the probability is the division between the number of ways in which we can select 3 candies with different flavors and the total number of ways in which we can select 3 candies from the 12 in the pack. This is:

P=\frac{108}{220}=0.4909

Joel biked 9 miles east and then 12 miles north. If he
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

36 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

His entire journey, represented with a diagram, is in the shape of a right angle triangle.

We need to first find the hypotenuse of the triangle, then, add all the sides together:

hyp² = opp² + adj²

hyp² = 9² + 12²

hyp² = 81 + 144 = 225

Find the square root of both sides:

hyp = 15 miles

Therefore, adding the three sides together:

Total distance traveled = 9 + 12 + 15

Total distance traveled = 36 miles

He would ride 36 miles altogether.

I have to find slope-intercept equation
adoni [48]

Answer:

y = 4x - 9

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b

m = slope

b = y-intercept

the y-intercept is when the line crosses the y axis, and in this case we can see it at "-9"

The slope we can do rise over run "r/r" ot "y/x"

r/r = 4/1 = 4

The line is positive since its going up

y = 4x - 9

Hope this helped!
